Sprint Center Maintains Ranking As America’s Fourth Busiest Arena

According to Pollstar Magazine’s recently released Third Quarter Report, Sprint Center ranks 13th among all worldwide arenas and fourth in the United States, maintaining the same position as noted in the Mid-Year Analysis Issue in July 2016. An international entertainment and concert industry publication, Pollstar collects box office reports from the world’s top-level artists, promoters and venues. Rankings are based on worldwide ticket sales for concerts, events and family shows in venues seating 15,000 or more.

“Sprint Center continues to enjoy robust ticket sales in 2016 to date as evidenced by the #4 ranking among U.S. Arenas,” said Brenda Tinnen, general manager and senior vice president of Sprint Center/AEG Kansas City. “Heading into the fourth quarter of 2016 and trailing the 2015 total attendance figures by less than 200 tickets speaks directly to unwavering support from Kansas City, fans throughout the Midwest, artists, managers and promoters.”

More than half of the Top 30 arena tours have visited or are scheduled to visit Sprint Center in 2016-2017 including Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band, Coldplay, Disney on Ice, Justin Bieber, WWE, Carrie Underwood, Drake, Dixie Chicks, Twenty One Pilots and more.
